Hi I am having a Linux box running with kernel 2.4.20 . I am using it as a router. My Desktops machins are behind this router and on private segments. These Desktop machines dial a PPP connection over ethernet (PPPOE)to log on to some trusted Network. Some how Linux Rouer dont forward PPPoE request further. When I configure this router in Birdge mode then these machines are able to connect and succssfully logs on net Network I tried to MASQUERADE all traffic but it didnt worked out Regards Pravin __________________________________ Yahoo!
